The National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME®):
The US-based NBME is an independent, not-for-profit organization that provides high-quality examinations for the health professions. Protection of the health of the public through state of the art assessment of health professionals is the mission of the NBME, along with a major commitment to research and development in evaluation and measurement. The NBME was founded in 1915 because of the need for a voluntary, nationwide examination that medical licensing authorities could accept as the standard by which to judge candidates for medical licensure. Since that time, it has continued without interruption to provide high-quality examinations for this purpose and has become a model and a resource of international stature in testing methodologies and evaluation in medicine. The NBME brings its expertise as a co-sponsor of the United States Medical Licensing Examination® (USMLE)® and test development agency for many US specialty certification examinations to the work directed at enhancing assessment for licensure in the Gulf region.
